Not been in accidents *touches the wood* but...
a fair few near misses... come close many a time to being smacked off the mountain bike by dumbarsed inconsiderate car drivers..

But the biggest ones come from being in a car myself with friends (not me driving, haven't passed yet). First was driving down the bypass, on a bit of very wide single carriageway. My friend in his 1 litre micra thinks he has enough grunt to overtake a big line of cars. Oncoming vehicle doing at least 70, big blast of horn from him and we dive back in , having only just made it. nearly shit myself, and he hasn't done it since.

second was in my mate's saxo vtr, we go tearing down the right hand lane, past a BMW converible. the problem was the road narrowed to one lane after some traffic lights, and there's someone in a zafira waiting to right at the lights. the bmw has sped up to try and pass us again (typical wanker) so we have to cut him up in order not to hit said zafira. cue much shouting from bmw and gestures. we think "fuck" and hightail it at th next roundabout. we came so close to hitting both zafira and BMW.

AFL (and shittiness)
